Did you change it? If not you're running the stock original recovery!
Turn off phone.
Hold volume up button and power until you see the bootloader come up
Use the volume down button to go to Recovery, press Power to select it.
It'll boot to recovery. If it's stock recovery, you'll see a triangle with an exclamation point.
Press up+power real quick. You'll see the stock recovery.
If it's not stock recovery you'll see whatever recovery you have with the version number on the bottom.

[Q] Help booting into Recovery

Hi guys, I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed CWM from:http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, I've flashed and didn't get any errors, boot to Android and did "adb reboot recovery", I get in a screen with the android with a red triangle, stayed for some mins and nothing, I turned off and boot to Android, turned off again and turn on by Power + Vol -, Select Recovery and samething...
obs: I used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 and downloaded this SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
How can I boot to recovery?
Another thing does SuperSU v1.51 works on Android 4.3?
Thanks

The screen with just a red triangle is stock recovery. Press and hold power and press volume up and you should get the stock recovery menu.
Try flashing CWM from fastboot manually as it's not taking with ROM Manager (which I don't rate anyway)

[Q] Red Triangle on Recovery Attempt

When attempting to enter recovery mode on my xt907, I get a sideways android figure with a red triangle instead of the normal recovery screen. I have not attempted to root the phone. Everything is stock. I usually boot into recovery once in a while to clear the cache. I have not changed anything since the last successful recovery boot. Any ideas?

Doesn't this always happen... then you have to press vol up and vol down to then enter the recovery menu... this should show you how to get in there... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JtzubRAGMWc&desktop_uri=/watch?v=JtzubRAGMWc

In that screen, hold volume down and tap volume up to get into the recovery menu.

Recovery Wont Work

I've tried everything and I cannot boot into recovery on my S4(GT-9505).
I have reverted to the stock firmware for my carrier using Odin, and installed CWM and held the three buttons until the screen came on and let go of them. Still, black screen, then reboot. What can I do?

Yes when I first flashed recovery I had same issue, to fix I just reflashed again and all was good.

When I try boot to recovery it displays this in the top left:
Code:

Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing
Set warranty bit: Recovery
I've tried Philz and CWM.

I flashed Philz recovery for the 50th time and it worked.
Keep trying, don't let the aching fingers bring you down!
SOLVED!

The easiest way to boot to recovery is:
Hold volume up+power button
When you see blue writing release power button but keep volume up button pressed.
Hold volume up until recovery boots
Easy as that

Need a little bit of help, can't boot into stock recovery

So after flashing the kit kat factory images from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam I noticed my Nexus 4 was showing 5.67 gb free space instead of the 13+gb my 16 gb model should have. I tried following the guide mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033692 but failed to even reboot into stock recovery.
I tried flashing stock recovery through fastboot and it showed no errors yet when I try booting into stock recovery, a screen with the android laying down and a red exclamation mark pops up.
Tried flashing all images again and still no success into booting into stock recovery OR fixing my free space. Any ideas what I can do?
Help is appreciated!

and to clarify, I am able to flash a custom recovery and boot into it but completely unable to boot into stock recovery. Only an Android with a red exclamation mark pops up but no menu. Any ideas? :-\

Are you pressing the power button then vol+ when yoy see the dead Android?

When you see the android laying down, use the volume button to scroll and the power button to select.
